Description:
Where do the roots of addictive behavior lie -- in our chemistry or in our character? In The Craving Brain, Dr. Ronald Ruden believes the former, asserting that the roots of addiction lie in a complex chain reaction that originates in an ancient survival mechanism in the brain. When this system is inappropriately activated, it drives the body to crave. In clear, straightforward language, Dr. Ruden outlines his remarkably successful treatment program in which the levels of dopamine and serotonin in the brain can be medically altered, or "biobalanced".
